Atchafalaya Basin
The Atchafalaya Basin is the largest river swamp in the United States, full of winding waterways and cypress trees. Boat tours glide through calm water where you can spot amazing wildlife.
It is loved for its exciting swamp tours where families see alligators, herons, and turtles in the wild. The moss-covered cypress trees create a scene straight out of a storybook.
